    Not just matching shades: matching wrap-around biker shades.

    The wheels on Gunneweg's bike are subtly assymetrical, hinting at the incredible amount of time and effort it took to build this beauty.

    The frame is fully wood, the seat and wheels are solid wood, and the tires are even a matching wood tone, making this bike look like rolling scuplture.

    We're already not crazy about the comfort of bike seats, and this one looks to be doozy, made from what appears to be solid maple.

    Gunneweg's name carved in relief on the frame. We love the subtlety and the font choice that mark this lovely creation.

    Note the wood-tone tires that make this bike appear to be a study entirely in wood. Hand-finished wheels, wood mud guards, and a matching solid wood frame are a work of art.
